Red white and blue dreams of a future Too many gray days in soggy skies Sense of direction -- look to the future But things they told you are nowhere in sight You're a tiny scratch in a flawless finish You're a star that isn't quite bright There's 50 stars waving in misdirection No flag can help the Lone Ranger tonight (chorus): And every teenage G.I. Joe Stares into darkness, driving all night alone Accelerator one more time It's just another burning night And everything's on the line Seeing red in black and blue, kid Breaking away from lies in the past Everything in neon direction Plastic expectations coming in fast Dead ends and detours come out of nowhere So hard to see what you should do So hard to see where it went wrong When things look bleak you just gotta be strong (chorus) It's time to break away From the attitude they put on you It's time to make your play Hit accelerate -- do what you want to do (chorus)
